Answer is Wrong!
Answer is Right!
The correct answer is (c) `46,500.
The per capita income of Indians rose by 14.5% in 2009. This means that if the per capita income in 2008 was 100, then the per capita income in 2009 was114.5.
To calculate the per capita income figure in nearest hundred, we can round off 114.5 to 115.
Therefore, the per capita income figure in nearest hundred is `46,500.
Option (a) `40,600 is incorrect because it is less than the per capita income in 2008.
Option (b) `42,300 is incorrect because it is less than the per capita income in 2009.
Option (d) `47,100 is incorrect because it is more than the per capita income in 2009.
